WAIT A SECOND. I thought Canada welcomed refugees and those seeking asylum with open arms? Haven’t Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other officials mocked President Donald Trump and others here in America because they simply want people to follow our laws?

It seems that loving Canada has deported 2,000 North Korean asylum seekers because they allegedly lied on refugee forms. The country is ready to deport up to 150 more.

TRUMP IS A HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING FOR SEPARATING FAMILIES! Will we hear that same thing about the Tiger Beat prime minister? From Al Jazeera:

Eleven years ago, Taegun Kim came to Canada with his wife, daughter and son. Now they have two more children, both Canadian citizens. A deportation would be catastrophic for the family.

“That notice means death to me,” Kim told Al Jazeera. “I came all the way here for a better life and my family is well adjusted to life in Canada. To think we’re going to be separated, it breaks my heart.”

The Jo family could be broken up too if Canada carries out its deportation orders. Two children are Canadian-born; the eldest came with his parents in 2010.

The family admits they lied on their asylum application – saying they defected to China, not South Korea – to help ease the immigration process, but add they did it to escape a horrible situation.

So basically refugees and asylum seekers can break America laws, but you must follow Canada’s laws to the T. Oh, but they’re going to South Korea! Yeah, well, they don’t feel safe in South Korea and Kim has first hand experience.

Kim escaped North Korea in 1998 and first went to China. He decided on South Korea, where he resided for five years. He told Global News how bad it was:

When he arrived with a group of other North Koreans, he said, news media took their pictures and filmed them. It was international news, and was reported on South Korean television.

Because his image appeared on TV, he said, the North Korean government took notice.

“North Korea noticed that we were there, so my family, my parents were captured,” he said.

He had a hard time finding a job in South Korea, he said, and every time North Korea was in the news, he felt like people pointed at him and demanded to know why North Koreans acted the way they did.

He came to Canada in 2007. He got married, has two children, and works as a contractor:

“I feel we are accepted here because of the political and legal support for multiculturalism,” he said. “When we lived in South Korea we used the same language but we were treated different, so it was hard for us to live there. But in Canada, we speak different languages, but in spite of the language barrier, we make a good contribution to society and we live well here.”

Raymond Cho, a Member of Provincial Parliament, is of South Korean descent and has backed up Kim’s account:

North Koreans who arrive in South Korea are generally granted South Korean citizenship. “They become South Korean. But it’s only legally, because culturally, even though they speak the same language, there’s a big difference,” said Raymond Cho, MPP for Scarborough-Rouge River, who is of South Korean origin.

Their accent identifies them as North Korean, he said, and children get bullied in school and adults have trouble finding jobs because of it.

These people managed to escape the most evil regime on this planet right now. Rocky Kim of the Canada Federation of North Korean Defectors said that family members still in North Korea become vulnerable when refugees receive any attention.

Lawyer Jacqueline An wants to know why it seems exceptions have been made for those fleeing Syria and wants to know why Canada has to send back these 150 people back to North Korea.

So yeah, Trudeau, why send these people away to South Korea, a place where they face isolation and possible capture back to North Korea? You are more than willing to welcome back so called “reformed” terrorists, but not people escaping Kim Jong Un? Are you serious?

Yellowsnake, you write a lot of idiotic things but this takes the cake. There was no war in Europe until 1939. So the figures you cite r.e. Jewish refugees from 1933 to 1941 have nothing to do with keeping us out of any war.

FDR was a racist and an anti-semite pure and simple. That’s why he snubbed Jesse Owens after the 1936 Olympics. In 1923 while on the Harvard board of directors he said their were too many Jewish students so he implemented a quota system to limit the number of Jews at Harvard. He blamed the Jews for anti-semitism. He said during a Cabinet meeting tha Jews in Poland dominated certain professions, dominated the economy, and exercised undue influence. Hence the backlash. He even said during another Cabinet meeting that there were too many Jews in the civil service in Oregon. And when the allies liberated North Africa, he told government officials that the number of Jews in certain professions must definiJ”eliminate the specific and understandable complaints which the Germans bore towards the Jews in Germany.” When Jewish leaders pleaded to allow more Jewish refugees in from Nazi Germany and later Nazi occupied countries he dismissed it as “Jewish wailing.” He was proud he had no Jewish blood in his veins, and he wasn’t shy about saying so when he thought he was with men who also had none in theirs.

FDR was an anti-semite for a variety of reasons. He thought Jews were greedy and money grubbing. When a Jewish publisher arranged his taxes quite legally to pay less FDR called it “a dirty Jewish trick.” But the bottom line his main them is that we already have too many Jews (like at Harvard), if we let more in they’ll dominate the economy and exercise undue influence.

He just didn’t want more German-Jewish refugees in the country. Officially the quota during the Nazi era was 26k/year. In fact from 1933-1941 the State Dept. never let that many German Jews in; on average only a quarter of the official quota was allowed in because FDR had State put so many extra, trivial restrictions on German Jews few could qualify. It got so bad that if a German Jewish refugee left a single close relative behind in Germany they wouldn’t be allowed in, on the absurd basis the Nazis would use that close relative (up to the State Dept. as to what qualified as a close relative) as a hostage to coerce that German Jewish refugee into a spy.

No, you don’t remember your history. You never knew your history. You just say stupid crap out of your blind hate.

FDR had no higher purpose for turning away German Jews and sending them back to be slaughtered other than he simply didn’t like Jews.

I have never understood people who bash our country as racist, xenophobic, the list goes on, yet the USA is the perfect place for the oppressed. Then, when Canada who judges us as unworthy, acts in a worse manner than Trump so far has done concerning immigration.

Like Jerry Brown, who today has set up a “sanctuary state” to accommodate illegal border jumpers who he thinks will vote for him but in 1975 led the opposition to accepting South Vietnamese anti-communist refugees who were fleeing murder (the Boat People, who were drowning at sea without our help), just because these betrayed South Vietnamese allies could be expected to vote against the communist Brown.

Trudeau is exactly the same. Those who flee communist North Korea will most likely not vote for the communist Trudeau (communist-friendly if one prefers but there is no difference), while violent Islamic jihadists are seen as likely to vote leftist, at least so long as the leftists are favoring their admission to the country. The leftist mind is an unbounded evil, moved only by what will serve its ambition for power.

Near as I can decipher, North Korea has nothing to do with this. These were people safely ensconced in South Korea—even granted S. Korean citizenship—who thought they could wrangle a more lucrative deal in Canada. Since nobody would accept “refugees” from South Korea, where they may have been “uncomfortable” in one of those ways unique to the inscrutable Orient but were certainly not persecuted, they lied and said they were refugees holed up in China. And now the Canadians are inhuman monsters for wanting to send them back to North South Korea. Uh-huh.

It also seems that these hammerheads haven’t learned their lesson about the risks of talking to the press. Can’t blame Canada for that.

If I have the story right, I don’t really see why I should get my blood pressure up over such a non-outrage. The Canadians are probably right … for a change.

tom, the issue has to do with kanuks taking in all sorts –
but NOT anti Reds.

if they don’t want them OK – but if Canada has birth citizenship, then kicking the parents out seems antithetical to their ‘values’.

Canada’s citizenship law has, since 1947, generally conferred Canadian citizenship at birth to anyone born in Canada, regardless of the citizenship or immigration status of the parents. The only exception is for children born in Canada to representatives of foreign governments or international organizations.

I agree with Tom Swift. These people were not legitimate refugees, they are people who tried to scam the refugee system. They had escaped from North Korea and had been allowed to live in South Korea, but decided they didn’t like living in South Korea because their accents were made fun of, or because they couldn’t get the jobs they wanted, or whatever. So they came to Canada and lied about being refugees, and now they’re upset because the Canadians, instead of rewarding them for their dishonesty and law-breaking, are going to send them back to South Korea.

One can abhor Canada’s idiocy in taking in Muslim refugees, including inviting jihadi’s to come back, without having sympathy for these Korean fraudsters.
